Chapter 81 The Pequod Meets The Virgin
第八十一章"裴廓德號(hào)"遇到"處女號(hào)"
The predestinated day arrived, and we duly met the ship Jungfrau, Derick De Deer, master, of Bremen.
命定的日子到來(lái)了，我們及時(shí)遇到了"處女號(hào)"（處女——原文為德文Jungfrau。），它的船長(zhǎng)德立克·德·第爾，是個(gè)不來(lái)梅（不來(lái)梅——德國(guó)一個(gè)城市，在漢堡南面。）人。
At one time the greatest whaling people in the world, the Dutch and Germans are now among the least; but here and there at very wide intervals of latitude and longitude, you still occasionally meet with their flag in the Pacific.
曾經(jīng)是世界上最偉大的捕鯨民族的荷蘭人和德國(guó)人，如今已是默默無(wú)聞了，不過(guò)，每隔很長(zhǎng)一段時(shí)間，還能偶爾在太平洋上看到他們的國(guó)旗。
For some reason, the Jungfrau seemed quite eager to pay her respects. While yet some distance from the Pequod, she rounded to, and dropping a boat, her captain was impelled towards us, impatiently standing in the bows instead of the stern.
不知什么緣故，這艘"處女號(hào)"顯得很急于要跟"裴廓德號(hào)"請(qǐng)個(gè)安。它跟"裴廓德號(hào)"還隔著一段路的時(shí)候，船頭就當(dāng)風(fēng)停下來(lái)，放下一只小艇，它的船長(zhǎng)迫不及待地望著我們，他焦灼地站在船頭，而不是站在船梢上。
What has he in his hand there? CRIed Starbuck, pointing to something wavingly held by the German. "Impossible!—a lamp-feeder!"
噯，他手里拿著什么呀？斯達(dá)巴克指著那個(gè)德國(guó)人拿在手里的、甩來(lái)甩去的東西，嚷道。"一只燈油壺！——不會(huì)吧！"
Not that, said Stubb, "no, no, it's a coffee-pot, Mr. Starbuck; he's coming off to make us our coffee, is the Yarman; don't you see that big tin can there alongside of him?—that's his boiling water. Oh! he's all right, is the Yarman."
絕對(duì)不是，斯塔布說(shuō)，"不是，不是，那是一只咖啡壺，斯達(dá)巴克先生；他是要來(lái)給我們煮咖啡的，這是個(gè)強(qiáng)門人（強(qiáng)門人——原文為Yarman，有似我國(guó)南方人稱德國(guó)人為強(qiáng)門人。）；你沒有看到他旁邊還有一只大鐵罐么？——那就是滾水。?。〔诲e(cuò)，他是個(gè)強(qiáng)門人。"
Go along with you, CRIed Flask, "it's a lamp-feeder and an oil-can. He's out of oil, and has come a-begging."
去你的吧，弗拉斯克叫道，"那是一只燈油壺跟一只油罐子。他沒有油啦，要來(lái)跟我們討些油了。"
However curious it may seem for an oil-ship to be borrowing oil on the whale-ground, and however much it may invertedly contradict the old proverb about carrying coals to Newcastle, yet sometimes such a thing really happens;
盡管這件事看來(lái)是多么希奇：一只鯨油船竟會(huì)在捕鯨漁場(chǎng)上向人家借油，盡管那句送煤送到紐卡斯?fàn)枺~卡斯?fàn)?mdash;—南非塔耳納省的一個(gè)城市，以產(chǎn)煤著名）的老俗諺是多么的自相矛盾，然而，這種事情，往往倒是真的會(huì)發(fā)生的；
